M1 Remote Learning Newsletter

“Home of the Roaring Lions” M1 Remote Learning Good Day Dellwood Family, This has been a year of many new routines and shifts for us all. The Dellwood family has already demonstrated their ability to shift with each tide and rise above every challenge. Your resilience has been outstanding and I applaud the way each of you have given your best through it all! Once again, we embrace another shift to remote learning. During this time, we want to ensure that each of our students continue to have access to high-quality curriculum and assignments. We plan to deliver instruction via Zoom and multiple online learning platforms. However, for those who do not have access to online learning, take home learning packets will be provided for collection at the Department of Education. In order to ensure each student’s learning continues, we need your support to ensure the success of our efforts! Please take a moment to review our remote learning expectations and talk with your child about the importance of continuing their education during this time. We are still in a learning phase. The entire Dellwood Staff thank you for your resilience and support during this time. Stay safe, Mrs. L. W-Dill Mrs. L.
